Here go again with another conservative out of touch with everyday citizens working for local goverment. Lets take away their retirement benefit and gamble with the money on wall street. If this bill passes the men and women that are public servants in the commonwealth will have their retirement in jeopardy.

Michael Perkins writes:

Read the book, "Nudge"? Automatic enrollment improves employee retirement savings by making the default option to save for retirement. From my read of this bill, it would still allow employees to "opt-out" if they so chose.
